Callsheet’s first week, why Apple might (or might not) want to buy Disney, and the state of the podcast-ad market.

Accidental Tech Podcast: 548: Starting to Count Chickens

Three nerds discussing tech, Apple, programming, and loosely related matters.

@atpfm Regarding the post-show, imo $96/year *is* too much. I listen to 7 podcasts that ask for subscriptions; it would cost me $460 a year to pay what they ask. This just seems ludicrous to me.

Lower the price and I’d be willing. Otherwise, as much as I like to listen to the show every week, I don’t get $8/month value out of it.

The fact that two of the hosts quit jobs and now seem to be pleading poverty is not that sympathetic a pitch to me.

Amen, it was a major cringe feat tbh.
Also, it’s not surprising the host pushing full paywall access, ironically earns his income via an app that relies solely on podcast content he literally redirects feeds from…but let’s not get lost in the weeds here.
